BPS: COMBUSTIONing my way through post surgery weight loss

Lol. I probably haven't been on here since early 2013. Used to be a rep for AppNut. Had to do a lot on bb.com and didn't have much time....still on Lockout quiet a bit. Figured I'd start back over here some too... Reg I had a log on LO but pretty much finished it up after my surgery. Getting ready to start a sponsored combustion and DCP log on LO. Maybe I'll run it here too

be fantastic if you were to run it here and lockout!!!
 
Just took my first cap of Combustion with my coffee. Excited to get this ball rolling.

I weighed in at 204.4 this morning. That's about 15 lbs more than I was when I went in to surgery. SOME of that is diet-bloat, though. I had some high sodium and not-so-great food items this weekend.

I'm already feeling some energy come on as I type this.

I'm expecting 190 by the end of this. It can be done.
 
I decided to take my scooter to the gym this morning. 3/4s stimul8, 1 cap combustion, and a 3 mile walk home to get a gas can. Smh

Ahhhhh.... That sucks!

Be careful!
 
COMBUSTION first impression:

I tasted a slight pill aftertaste, not bad though. It might've been worse with two caps, but also better had I taken it with water.

Energy felt nice and clean. Unfortunately, I couldn't test it in the gym today.

I made it home with some jogging in 35 mins, a decent sweat going. After going and fueling the scooter up and getting it back home my energy was, and still is, pretty high.

I'll update how the next cap feels later, and I have a feeling it going to be hard to hit my calorie goal unless I add in some more fats.
 
Oh... There was no stim-d**k either.

What's this?! Like you lost your hard on? O.o

No, no. Lol. It does NOT cause that. I've actually never experienced it, but I've heard that some people have. Wanted to include that for me, one cap does NOT negatively effect erections.
 
SauceMonkey22 said:
Yeah nothing to note from combustion in that regard too. Old jack3d did it to me,old 1.m.r too.and if I'm on them for awhile it'll happen just the quality diminishes. Gotta take a focus XT break lol

I don't remember if OG Jack3D did that to me. How do you like Focus? I have yet to try it.

I use the caffeine version during the day sometimes just as a pick me up. Love the smooth energy and focus it gives me.

Oh no! That sucks!! Glad you had plenty of energy though! Lol
 
1,3 Dim... was known for causing stimd1ck - but then again...Puccah nor Kat were around at that time!
 
I only made it to two caps today, taking my second at 1400. I never crashed from the first dose, and I can't think of any negative sides from today:

No extreme jitters: My wife said I was shaky this morning, but I did have a PWO and coffee also, and not making it to the gym to release that energy didn't help.

Appetite suppression was really good, hence the reason I only had two caps. I only have 2,077 calories planned for today and it's taken all my effort to get my meals in this far.

The real test will be later in the week, mostly after workouts and after waking up several days in a row really early. My appetite and ability to get tired are much more increased.

Also to note in case my allergy headaches come back and I mention them in here, I had no headache or increased head pressure/BP from my dosing of COMBUSTION today.

Chest and shoulders are on tap for tomorrow. I believe I will plan to take the scooter again in the AM.... After again taking 1 cap COMBUSTION, 3/4s Stuimul8, and coffee.

For the sake of this log I will have at least one, maybe two days of COMBUSTION-only workout day(s).

1st very glad you are reacting well to combustion....

2nd i sympatize with the congestion/sinus headaches, looks like this is going to be a bad summer for allergies...

3rd good luck with the scooter, might want to pack a gas can on the back, lol...

Thanks! Yeah, the headaches are brutal at times.

Ha! It's my fault. I rode on that thing several times when it said "E".
 
I kinda like taking one cap with my first sip of coffee. Unfortunately, I forget that I'm drinking coffee...

Boom ignore me then. I noticed thermos give me the chills earlier in the day and then sweat only after I eat. I leave a puddle on my couch lol
Click to expand...

It'll be included in my update later, but surprisingly this morning with all the stims I had I sweat less than usual at the fun. This may be the case with me also.
 
I'll have to remember the "chills" for when I start taking it. I actually was taking LG's Fully Loaded and was getting "cold sweats" while taking it, crazy I know, but not even sure what was causing it?

Notes:

Allergy headache was about 4/10, and was very brief.

ENERGY: My energy was great, but surprisingly I didn't sweat all that much. I sweat, but not like I should've with such short rests.

Also, the energy was extreme nor did I feel jittery. I kinda wish I would've had a little more coffee with it but I felt energetic and rearing to go!

FOCUS: My mind-to-muscle connection was amazing, and not something that I've experienced with Stimul8. It must be attributed to the Combustion.

As of now it's been 6+ hours since my last cap of combustion and I don't feel tired at all.

I actually want to take another cap here soon, but I have court today and don't want to be all jittery when I introduce my cases.

I'm going to try and pay more attention to this tomorrow.
 
Great job!! Sounds like you are having some great results so far! So glad your eyes and head are doing better! Who'd of thought allergies could be such a nuisance!
 
cals are a measurement of heat...not really that surprising to sweat during or after eating, imo...when i lived in philipines i had to wear a towel around my neck when eating, lol....very hot and humid tropical weather with no a/c!!!
 
Solid Meadows session there Thomas.

Your inclines are fine and they will come. But perhaps give yourself an extra 30 seconds recovery between sets.
 
So, I'm not certain i had the same appetite suppression as I did yesterday, however, that may just be the difference between lifting and not. I did still have to make sure that I was on my pulled chicken throughout the day.

Only day two though, and still have stopped short of 3 caps/day. Probably tomorrow I'll hit 3.

I could see taking Combustion x1 with my coffee every training day if the focus and energy are like they were this morning. Looking forward to back day tomorrow, and Meadows is finally putting deads back in. Not that I expect any PR's... but I miss 'em.

Probably not a bad idea. I need to get in a little earlier on chest day anyway. I had to drop one set of lat raises due to time constraints.

Thanks Wasme.
 
Nice workout, seems like your adding more than normal. So you take combustion with two cups of coffee and almost a full scoop of stimul8?!
 
Hmmmm... Must be rest day...

It will eventually be 3 cups about, but yeah. They seem to all compliment each other at this point though.

Woke up at 0330 feeling ok... and said eff it. I'm 33 today. My old a*s needs extra sleep.

Back tomorrow, arms Friday, leg as again Saturday.

I'll update today's doses tomorrow morning. Gonna catch up on a couple logs and hang out with the fam.

Diet will be shot tonight, and Friday we plan to celebrate at a Japanese Steakhouse. Mmm...

I'll start posting my calories and macros tomorrow like I normally do.
 
Woke up at 430 this morning and almost said screw it. It's rough getting up that early. I'm sure some rest will be beneficial in the long run for you.

Have fun with the family. Japanese steak houses are fantastic. Might have to see if my grandma wants to go to one this weekend.
